I'm in the same boat! I went in with a dairy allergy and have to admit that it has been much better than before surgery but I still can't get a taste for cream soups, yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese, etc. I have also found that my tastes have changed ALOT! I find protein shakes to be too sweet, pudding is too sweet and heavy, cottage cheese now makes me gag, and other things are too salty. I just feel thirsty all of the time and can't ge****er in fast enough. I'm pretty much to the point where food has absolutely no enjoyment and I am literally eating to live. Unfortunately there are times where I can't get anything bu****er in without gagging. I wish I had some suggestions for you but I've got nothing.; Our list is pretty limited. All I can say is thank goodness puree is coming up this week!
Good Luck!
